Planning to buy AUDI A4 B8 either 2010,2011&2012

Means the paint really sucks badly. The A4 B4 is not very old. To think that the paint starts to peel off this soon when exposed to the harsh weather...

Can also be not taken care off?

But previously always wash car what. I wouldn't expect a car at this price tag to have paint deterioration that quickly after a short time of negligence.

Now with paint deterioration, it will further decrease the value of the car. Spent more than RM200k and get this kind of result...

Such low value. I think back then, service centre for Audi cars is much more limited than now. Luckily din't buy.

Looks like Audi really has a lot of problems. But, their notoriety hasn't reached Volkswagen level yet. Now VW is like an unscrupulous company. One lies after another being uncovered.

Porsche seems to be doing good though. A lot of praises and awards.

When you see the words "Porsche", you think "Luxury", "Premium", "Expensive", "High Quality"; while you see the words "Volkswagen", you think people's car.

It was a matter of self interest for Porsche to show Porsche as a sub-brand of parent brand Volkswagen-- so that Volkswagen owners would consider Porsche to be a related brand-- which may serve as a natural upgrade path when their budget improves OR when they want something premium.

Something that I understand between VW & Porsche ownership

if u look at UK car reliability index, Audi A4 scores badly...

Someone mention VW is like Proton in Germany.......lol

 

[ken yeang]

Some see and great expensive car with status, some see as problem car, dare not touch......lol

have to kana burn first.....then don't dare to touch.

2nd hand conti cars always attractively priced. Many of my colleagues alway think better to buy a used conti than buying a brand new jap car for the similarly price.....Conti car give more status, as they would think.

How about used BMW? I see E90 selling quite cheap nowadays.


Some say buy used conti rather than buying brand new Japanese car for similar price. But for me, I'll say buy used Evo or STI at the price of Vios, City or Almera.
